Is your lease nearing its end?
At Salinas Valley Ford, we understand this transition can come with questions and we’re here to offer support every step of the way. In the spirit of Ford’s commitment to putting people first, we offer a flexible range of lease-end options including the potential to buy out your lease.
We empower you with the knowledge to avoid penalty costs.
That’s why our team at Salinas Valley Ford will walk you through every available path to ensure a seamless experience. We recommend scheduling a pre-inspection of your vehicle for a few months before your lease termination date. During this visit, you’ll receive a personalized cost consultation, an accurate vehicle appraisal, and details about special incentives.
Returning your vehicle in a way that’s smooth and stress-free.
Normal wear and tear is expected like small dings, minor wheel scuffs, and paint chips. However, you will want to address issues like cracked windshields, bald tires, and/or missed maintenance to steer clear of penalties. We’ll help you evaluate if any repairs are needed via a vehicle inspection.
Sign a New Lease
Short-term lease contracts allow you to drive a new model every few years. Most leases include warranty coverage that lasts as long as the lease for added peace of mind.
Purchase Your Ford
Review your Red-Carpet Lease Agreement will include the lease-end purchase price, and any other terms related to buying out the lease.
Return Your Leased Vehicle
Familiarize yourself with the lease agreements terms, assess wear and tear, schedule a pre-inspection, consider repairs (if needed), remove personal items, gather key sets/fobs, schedule an appointment to return the vehicle and remember to cancel any automatic payments.
Leasing VS Buying
Benefits of Leasing
Leasing is a smart, flexible option and here’s why it might be a great fit for you:
- Lower Monthly Payments
- With leasing, you’re only paying for the vehicle’s depreciation during your lease term––not the full value.
- Less Worry About Repairs
- With leasing, you’re only paying for the vehicle’s depreciation during your lease term––not the full value.
- Drive the Latest Models More Often
- Advanced technology, improved safety features, fuel efficiency, etc., makes it easy to upgrade every few years and stay current with the latest innovations.
Benefits of Buying
Many drivers choose to purchase their leased vehicle or even switch to a different one for good reason:
- Make It Your Own
- Once you own the vehicle, you can personalize it however you’d like. This is especially popular with Ford models like the F-150, which can be enhanced with accessories and upgrades to match your lifestyle.
- Drive the car as long as you want
- No more mileage caps. Owning your Ford means you can drive for years to come, far and wide.
- Builds Equity
- When it’s time for something new, your current vehicle’s resale value can be used to help pay for your next one.
